Discover the History of Lord Macmillan

Located 65 kilometres from Nairobi off the Thika-Garissa Road, Lord Macmillan Castle is one unique gems that triggers the memories of the past Colonial regimes. Estimated to be the size of three basketball pitches, this castle was once home to Lord William Northrop Macmillan a decorated American Soldier knighted by the King of England. The custodians of place believe that the idea to arrest Kenyatta was mooted in this house. The site was also the set for Hollywood blockbusters like the 1950’s Mogambo starring Ava Gardener, Grace Kelly and Clark Gable.
